What you do
Smash and grab
Hold to swing the hammer, aim, and let them have it. Ceramic cracks, wood splinters, ice shatters, then sweep up the coins before they roll away.
Get debt free
Clear every bill, grab a perk, and roll into the next chapter with bigger everything.
Upgrade
Spend your coins on a big talent tree. Swing faster, hit harder, get luckier.
Dodge the Collector
Let a bill go overdue and the Collector takes a chunk of everything you earn.
No two runs the same
The room, the economy, and the piggies all keep moving on you.
The news happens
STOCK MARKET CRASH. CRYPTO SUMMER. Deadpan headlines keep rolling in and rewriting the economy for a few runs at a time, and those two are the polite ones.
Challenge runs
Arm one before you start. Glass Hands halves your swings. Iron Piggies doubles their health. There are nastier ones further in, and they all pay more, if your hand holds out.
Watch for hats
A piggy in a hat is tougher and holding more. Learn the hats and you can spot the payday from across the table. There are a lot of hats.
Day, dusk, night
The apartment follows your clock, so a late session gets dark windows. Seasons roll past outside them as the debt drags on.
Make it your run
Two players with the same upgrades do not play the same game.
Pick a career
Tech, Trades, Care, Money, Creative. Each one is a real trade-off. Trades puts another piggy on the table and makes every one of them tougher, and you are locked into it until you Move Out. Pick the life, live with it.
Earn a Certification
Go deep enough in a talent tree and you qualify for one. It is a rule change with a catch attached, not a bigger number, and you only ever hold one. Your career brings an option nobody else can take.
Perks and abilities
Pay a bill on time and a perk sticks with you for the whole chapter. There is a long list of them, plus active abilities you fire off mid-run when the table gets loud.
Make it your place
Bills with your name on them
Say what you do for a living, whether that is nurse, electrician or barista, and every bill re-skins to match, with its own very specific invoices and a deadpan memo on the bottom.
Decorate the apartment
Wall art, a table runner, a plant, a lava lamp, and a lot more where those came from. It all shows up on the table you actually play on. There is more than one place to live, too.
Better hammers
You start with the rusty mallet that came with the apartment. A baseball bat is not far off. What is waiting at the end of the rack you can find out for yourself. Each one swings differently.
The long haul
Chapter after chapter
Clear every bill and the chapter turns over: bigger debts, tougher piggies, and a named reward for getting there. Every turn also offers you two rule changes for the chapter ahead: you take one, so no two chapters play the same.
Move Out
Stay in it long enough and the lease is done. Move Out wipes the slate for a permanent Credit Score, weapons you cannot get any other way, and Severance to spend on your Résumé: unlocks that change what the next cycle even has. Then you pick a new career and go again.
Achievements and boards
A long list of achievements to chase, plus leaderboards for your best day and your fastest run to debt free. All-time and weekly, on Game Center and Play Games.

Fair and square
The game is free to start. Play First Days, smash a few hundred piggies, and see whether you like it. One purchase of $2.99 unlocks the rest, forever. That is the entire business model.
No ads. No timers, no energy, nothing to wait for. No coin packs, the one purchase is not currency, and nothing you buy swings the hammer for you. No accounts, no trackers, nothing personal collected, and no connection needed either. It is an offline game: it plays the same on a plane as it does at home. And the money in this game is not real and never becomes real.

Tycoon and business games
Less empire, more one-bedroom apartment. Five careers with real trade-offs and a landlord who always wants more.
